Abstract
A system and method for providing networked communication using a public safety answering point. In one embodiment, networked communications include providing access to an encrypted website, or page, that is customized for a particular emergency or security event. The website is accessible using an Internet address. In one embodiment, access to the website is subject to access control, such as a password. The website, and password, is available to dispatch operators and emergency response personnel in the field. In one embodiment, a participant can request bidirectional communications with an operator or with a predetermined user.
Claims33
A method of communicating comprising:
- receiving an emergency request for aid;
- generating a collection of information based on the emergency request;
- generating a secure website including the collection of information, the website having an Internet address;
- providing notification of the emergency request to a first user;
- and
- authorizing the first user to access the secure website.
An apparatus comprising:
- an input interface coupled to a first communication network and adapted for receiving an emergency call;
- a processor coupled to the input interface and adapted for converting the emergency call into website data and adapted for applying access control to the website data;
- an Internet connection coupled to the processor and adapted for distribution of the website data on a digital network;
- and
- an output interface coupled to a second communication network and adapted for transmitting notification of receipt of the emergency call and for granting access authorization to a predetermined user.
A communication system comprising:
- a security sensor adapted for detecting an emergency event and providing an electrical signal in response thereto;
- a processor coupled to the sensor and adapted for receiving the electrical signal and for generating encrypted data corresponding to the emergency event, the data accessible at an address on a digital network;
- and
- a transmitter coupled to the processor and coupled to a communication network, the transmitter adapted for providing notification of the emergency event to an emergency response facility using the communication network and adapted for providing a decryption key to the emergency response facility.
A browser system comprising:
- an interface wirelessly coupled to a digital network and communicating real time emergency information corresponding to an emergency event using a secure communication channel;
- a processor coupled to the interface;
- a display coupled to the processor and adapted for depicting data received on the secure communication channel;
- and
- a program executing on the processor and adapted for providing notification of the emergency event to a user and adapted for displaying the real time emergency information to the user.
